Think I'm gonna put together a strat and use one of these in the bridge. Anyone tried one yet?

I have them in two Strats. Love them. They are big and loud. Nice and open. Tone all the way up and they're nice and bitey. Roll the tone down to about 7 and its nice and fat. Almost humbucker.
I dig them a lot. Definitely recommended.

I have the bridge pickup in a partsocaster strat. It sounds really great with gain, nice top end and tight enough for rock and fast picking without sounding too mushy.

I have a set in a strat. High output, too close to humbuckers, may swap them out soon. Not stratty at all...

Paul Gilbert's live Injector tone is the biggest fattest single-coil rock tone I've ever heard.

Cool, thanks guys. Well I ordered an Injector bridge and also a Seymout Duncan Hot Stack Plus. Those were the main 2 peaking my interest - we will see how it goes!

I put an injector, area 67, injector setup in one of my Charvels with 250K pots (no load for tone) and I flat out love it. My favorite bridge single I've used as a high gain player. It's fatter than a typical single but nowhere near humbucker fat, you can still tell it's got some single coil vibe to it. Even under crazy high gain of Ch3 of my 5150III there's still loads of note clarity. I hesitate to call it P90ish but I guess some would consider it similar since it seems to walk that line between fat single and hum like a P90 can.
Like Badronald said the tone knob really works well with it too. It's one of my few guitars with a tone knob and the only one I actually use the tone knob on haha. With mine being no load when on 10 it's tighter, brighter and edgy (not in a bad way) and as you roll it back it warms up and fattens up so you can really alter the way it sounds for either a chunky rhythm or to get it to really cut through. I've never been a fan of tone knobs on bridge humbuckers since to me as you roll it back it just loses life thus why all my other guitars have no tone knobs since they all have hums in the bridge. With the injector it just becomes more versatile more like an actual single coil in that way despite it being stacked and fatter to begin with.

I wouldn't say not stratty, but if you want a real single coil tone I'd get a real single coil.
The OP seems to want a rock pickup that can handle gain.
I cannot stand real singles in the bridge position because I like a FAT tone that can handle a lot of gain if needed. However, I always use real singles in the neck position.
